How do you find your content and in what languages are the contents in?
Our wide variety content catalog is our pride and is intended for all type of demographics and platforms. We strive to choose content with an international language. If some of our content is in the original French version, we make sure to get them subtitled or dubbed in English.
In your opinion, how is the behavior of buyers in this pandemic and how do you foresee the coming months?
The pandemic changed the way we create contacts with buyers. All big TV Industry Markets having been cancelled, we now have to deal with a virtual world type of communication – no more handshakes. Although, ironically, the situation has made it easier to create direct contacts with buyers over the phone which was more difficult to do before the pandemic. One thing is for sure, in the upcoming months we will see the direct results of this continuously evolving situation to which the TV industry has to adapt.
Is there a drop in prices and greater competition?
Not greater competition, but effectively a drop prices.
